About

Rodanthe Pier Place is a fishing pier reaching out into the Atlantic from the village of Rodanthe, on the narrower, more exposed northern end of Hatteras Island within Cape Hatteras National Seashore. It's open early and stays open late, making it a straightforward stop for surf and pier anglers working the pilings from sunrise through after-dark hours.

Hours

Open daily, 6 a.m. to midnight

Getting There

Rodanthe, along with the neighboring villages of Waves and Salvo, sits on a stretch of the Outer Banks more exposed to storms than the beaches to the north. NC-12 is the only road connecting these villages to the rest of Hatteras Island, and it floods or closes during storms with some regularity — a real, ongoing feature of life here rather than a rare event. That risk is highest during hurricane season, June through November, with the most active stretch from August through October. Check current road and weather conditions before making the trip out to the pier.

We had been fishing all week on our ritual vacation trip to OBX Rodanthe area. This is the very first time that we decided to go fishing at the pier. We were happy we made the choice. Price was reasonable and the fact that we could fish from 6:00 a.m. to 12:00 a.m. was good we were able to take a break and come back later that night and go hunting for bigger stuff. My brother and cousin had larger hooks on their poles as we all were trying to hunt bigger fish but my son & i also had smaller poles with smaller Hooks and kept yanking stuff out of the water keeping us distracted and not bored. Very fun pier to fish from. Would definitely come back next year on a mission to yank something big out that water

My wife and I visited the pier several time during Thanksgiving week. The staff was super nice and the place was quaint and enjoyable. It is a beautiful older pier and I hope it is around for many years to come. Thanks for making us feel welcomed.

Rodanthe Pier Place is in an absolutely beautiful location right on the Outer Banks. The views from the pier are incredible, especially at sunrise and sunset, and it’s a relaxing spot to spend time whether you’re fishing, walking, or just enjoying the ocean breeze. The atmosphere felt laid back and authentic, which made it easy to slow down and enjoy the experience. The scenery was memorable, and it’s a place I’d recommend to anyone visiting the area looking for a classic Outer Banks pier experience.

Found this pier by accident and so glad that I did. The only pier that is very welcoming of dogs and overall had a friendly atmosphere by both the people running it and those also on the pier. The views were great and a lot of benches for both those who want to fish or just enjoy the ocean. The price to walk out on the pier was about $2, which is a lot less considering what some of the other piers cost. Only thing that I would mention is that the parking lot could use better maintenance, but overall it is a great place for a quick visit and an out of the way spot.
